Release Notes:

This soundtrack to the film written and directed by Craig Brewer is as
steeped in the Southern blues as his Hustle and Flow was in hip-hop.
The biggest surprise here is how well actor Samuel L. Jackson (who
seems to have a thing for "Snake" films) holds his own as a blues
singer against selections from Son House and R.L. Burnside. He sounds
like a throwback to the classic Delta bluesmen on "Just Like a Bird
Without a Feather," does a convincing take on the Blind Lemon
Jefferson title track, and rocks the juke joint on "Alice Mae" and a
down-and-dirty recasting of "Stack-O-Lee." Produced by the Bo-Keys'
Scott Bomar (who also scored Brewer's previous movie), the 17-cut
soundtrack features a kaleidoscopic array of blues, from the primal
throb of the Black Keys' "When the Lights Go Out" and the funk of
Bobby Rush's classic "Chicken Heads" to the spiritual lilt of Precious
Bryant's "Morning Train" and the North Mississippi Allstars' expansive
finale, "Mean Ol' Wind Died Down."
